npm-packlist meticulously generates a list of files to be included when packaging an npm package. Unlike simple globbing, it respects .npmignore, .gitignore, and other configuration settings, ensuring only intended files are bundled. It accurately simulates npm's packaging behavior, preventing unexpected omissions or inclusions. Use npm-packlist to verify your published package content and streamline your release process by programmatically determining the final included files.
